To me, the most heartwarming, human, grounded Jane Austen. As in all of her novels, the romance is always a strong theme, but in the end this book is about Elinor and Marianne, and the adorable, unbreakable sisterly bond they share. I found this absolutely amazing, and the most readable and approachable of all the Jane Austens I have yet til now.

Finally finished this book. I really liked it, but I would have loved an abridged version. When I'm not lost in the pleonasm, I found I love Austin's wit and subtle humour. She is also great at creating likeable and respectable protagonist you want to root for.
